I overbuilt built my NAS/container server for $1262 excluding the price of the rack chassis, PSU, cooler and two 1TB NVMe SSDs I cannot recall the price I paid for. B550 board, Ryzen 5, four 10TB Red Plus HDDs, Intel Arc A380, 64GB of DDR 5 ECC. Those listed components are now $3381. When or if you can even find them. The Arc is unobtanium as far as I can see. Of course the RAM and HDDs went up the most in cost, but it’s still like $65 and $75 more for the mobo and chip.
Whoop, decided to check and I found the SSDs: I paid $60 a pop for Samsung 980 Pros and they’re $240 now. So $1382 then vs $3861 now. Almost triple. The bubble can’t pop soon enough.
